Title: Improvements in connection with Bakers' Ovens.
Inventor: WEBER JOHN
Filed: 1905-06-08
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 12,026. Weber, J. June 8. Ovens.-To prevent the discharge of steam and other gases into the bakehouse through the grate of the furnace, and to reduce the radiation of heat, an iron apron is suspended from studs or hooks f so as to cover the space b above and in front of the furnace door a and to extend nearly to the bottom of the ash-pit c, and the space b above the furnace door is connected by a cross-flue h with the main flue d' of the oven, a damper i being arranged as shown.

Title: Improvements in Cheese Makers and other Cisterns or Tanks Required to be Tilted.
Inventor: BILLINGS REGINALD FRANK
Filed: 1905-06-24
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 13,100. Billings, R. F., and Squibb, R. A., [trading as Storrar & Co., A.]. June 24. Tanks.-Wheeled tanks for cheese-making and other purposes are provided with means whereby they can be tipped while still running on their wheels. The fore-wheels c run in ordinary bearings in the straps d, but the axle a<1> of the rear wheel passes through slots b in the straps. Journalled in the straps d above the wheels b is a squared spindle h, to which are attached handles l which may be provided with hinged extensions m. The spindle h also carries arms j jointed to links k which are pivoted on the axle a', so that when the handle l is pressed forward the arms j and links k form a toggle and the tank is raised from the axle a<1>. A pivoted guard n with a recess o fitting over a stud p holds the tank in a raised position. The end q of the handle is enlarged to form a guard for the levers and also a name-plate. Other methods of raising the tank, such as cams, screws, wedges, or lazy-tongs, may also be used

Title: Improvements in and relating to Moulding Machines for use in Casting Metals
Inventor: HODGSON HENRY EDWIN
Filed: 1905-06-24
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 13,110. Hodgson, H. E., and Hartley, J. June 24. Moulding. - Relates to machines of the inverting- table type having a special arrangement of trunnionparts and means for withdrawing the moulds and for protecting the working parts from sand. A carriage h, Figs. 1 and 2, runs on rails protected from sand by extensions s, and supports pivoted sleeves f which are a sliding fit for toggle-levers g embracing the trunnions of the pattern plate e at 16. The ends of the levers carry rubber; leather, or like washers n and protecting-caps o. The flask is secured on the plate e by catches of any ordinary construction. The plate is held either side up by any ordinary pins or stops, such stops being conveniently located on the cross-bars which connect the carriage side frames. An air cylinder q having a protecting- hood 35 raises the plate and flask by a fibre cushion 14 to compress the sand by one or more blows against a head c ; the plate is then lowered and the carriage h run out over the table v. This table is mounted on rails and, as shown in Fig. 1, is situated over a head u, which is adapted to be raised by pneumatic pressure at x and is sustained by oil supplied from a reservoir y through a non-return valve to a cylinder 2. Descent of the cylinder, carrying with it the flask inverted on to the table v, is controlled by a valve 6 which regulates thereturn of oil to'the reservoir. The exposed working parts of the lifting-apparatus are protected by a hood 8. A guide-block fixed to the head u has large bearing-surfaces on a fixed pillar protected by a hood, (none of which are shown) and ensures a straight draw. A rapping-device may be attached to the pattern plate and a gas ring 15 employed to heat the pattern and plate to facilitate drawing. Stops 30 on the extensions s engage the lever 28 controlling the air supply to the cylinder q, when the carriage h is in its out position, and prevent the compressing-ram from being actuated in mistake for the lifting-ram.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Treating Liquids and Semi-liquids for Evaporating, Distilling, Concentrating and like purposes with Continuous Re-utilisation of the Heat Employed.
Inventor: THEISEN EDWARD
Filed: 1905-09-25
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 19,385. Theisen, E. Sept. 25. Distilling and condensing apparatus, general arrangement of; evaporating brine; heating, special , means for; multiple-effect apparatus; stills.-An evaporating-plant comprises an evaporating-chamber in which is a centrifugal apparatus 11, Fig. 2, which throws the liquid against the heated walls 35 of the evaporator and at the same time draws off the vapours (the evaporator being similar to that described in Specification No. 10,693, A.D. 1898), together with a fan 10 whereby the vapours are forced through a pipe 13 into a heater 14 for the liquid to be evaporated. The steam still uncondensed passes through a pipe 23 to a second evaporator 24, a multiple effect being thus obtained. The gases which collect in the heater are allowed to escape by means of a cock 17. The liquid is circulated through the heater 14, pipe 36, the evaporator, and, in the case of liquids which deposit solid matter, a settling-tank 20, by means of a pump 16. In the treatment of brine, the walls of the evaporators are heated but very slightly or not at all until the gypsum, which would otherwise form incrustations, has completely settled out. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the heater 36 is placed below the evaporator, the steam passing to the heater by the pipe 31. Specifications No. 9815, A.D. 1889, No. 393, A.D. 1890, No. 16,035, A.D. 1897, and No. 10,157, A.D. 1904, are referred to.

Abstract: 26,131. Murphy, E. J., and Kelvin & James White. Nov. 19. Electrometers.- The multicellular volt-meter described in Specification No. 8791, A.D. 1903, is modified as regards its frame and casing, the manner in which the instrument is mounted, and in other respects. The pointer P is electrically connected to the outer case B by means of a suspending wire or strip S, and is insulated from the vanes by a large insulator I. The cells C and vanes V are enclosed in metal screens M, mounted between insulators K and a small casting H attached to but insulated from the cells C. The vanes are connected to the circuit and to the screens M by means of the damper D, a wire W, and the glycerine or other damping-liquid, which is of sufficient resistance to prevent any large flow of current in the event of the vanes touching the cells. The damper D is preferably a flat wire spiral. The glass pot G is held by spring pressure against an abutment on the part H. The vanes may, however, be connected by a spiral spring or other flexible connexion. The scale R and spirit level L as well as the essential parts of the instrument are mounted in a single main casting or frame A, to which the case B is attached by screws. The case is supported on a bracket N by a plane and groove resting on two levelling-screws at the front corners of the bracket, and a pointed screw 4 resting in a hole at the back. Two additional screws are used to clamp the instrument in position and prevent it from being tilted forward. The bracket is open in front so that the instrument may be detached and drawn out horizontally or nearly in the plane in which it is mounted.
